you shouldn't forget that ford created the mustang to compete with the corvair. then the corvair was canceled, leaving the mustang with no competition from gm, so that's why they made the camaro
and if you're cruising 70mph & running 2.5k rpm, there's a lot of room for improvement (or a 6th gear)! even my truck runs 70 @ 1900rpm in 5th & i've got a V6 & weigh over 4000lbs!
